Facing the real truth about us- A lesson from Huckabee vs. Romney
Main Street media is missing this one really big folks. Remember you heard this here. Everyone is focused on whether Romney is Christian enough because he is a Mormon and being a Mormon doesn't mean he is considered a Christian by the Religious right. Its like many mainland Italians don't think people from the Island of Sicily are Italian. So what's the news that everyone is missing?
So here's the news: Everyone believes Huckabee is overtaking Romney because Romney's religious beliefs aren't acceptable to the so-called "Christians". Well if that is true, and I believe it is what they unfortunately believe, then how is Barack Obama going to have a chance in the general election because many won't really vote yet for a Black man, no matter how good he sounds, how smart he is, and how accomplished he is. That's right I have said it. That is the truth about us as a country. So most likely Hillary and Barack, for differing reasons, will not gain enough votes to win in the general election unless the Republicans screw it up even bigger than they have or don't distance themselves successfully from President Bush and his Administration. Between Hillary's negatives with voters as one issue and the other fact that many won't vote for Barack because he is a Black man, the Democrats are playing right into the jaws of the Republicans once again. Do the Democrats have good candidates? Yes, but to win the general election, the Democrats are going to have to consider a candidate that won't have the already built in negatives that both Hillary and Obama have. I like Obama a lot. But based upon what I am seeing in the Republican race between Huckabee versus Romney over his Mormon religion, I am convinced we are more backwards as a Nation than I could have imagined in this new Millennium.
Democrats are going to have to quickly consider a second tier candidate like Sen. Biden or Gov. Richardson or embrace John Edwards who does have a decent chance. It's the only real chance they have, now that the truth is out about us a people. We are prejudice in so many ways. God help us. Oops, didn't mean to bring in the Big Guy on this one. But since I have you here, forgive them Father for they know not what they do!

Charles,
Sadly, I agree with your assessment and I applaud your courage for speaking the truth.
Oh, how I wish it were different. But the same people who Bush/Cheney/Rove were able to convince that an Arab terrorist was lurking behind every bush (no pun intended) are some of the same people who will not elect Barack Hussein Obama as President.
This is the ugly truth of America. That we still have people like Ann Coulter, David Dukes and people that hang nooses from trees and pick-up trucks. We live in a country that still has a problem with the first Muslim elected to Congress taking his oath of office on the Koran.
Yes, this nation has come a long way in handling race relations. In fact, I believe we're much further along than Europe, if soccer matches are any indication. But I cannot see Obama winning Texas, Florida, Arizona, North or South Carolina, Mississippi or Tennessee. Tennessee didn't if support their native son Al Gore. And even if Obama, wins the popular vote as Gore did in 2000 the electoral college may be his undoing.
I really hope that you and I are wrong on this.
